How, Through The Use Of List Building And Sales Funnels, You Can Maximise Affiliate Product Sales

In this article you will learn the importance of having a list of subscribers and how you can promote affiliate products to them, why you need to get the readers email address and finally what you need to offer people in exchange for their email address.

The importance of building a list of subscribers cannot be underestimated. Now what is the reason why you need to build a list?

Let's look at this from the opposite perspective, if you placed all of your products just on your website you could promote them in your blog posts or on a products page. Now, this is fine in doing this, but if someone comes to your website, let's say it's a fishing website and they read a few of your blog posts, they see a products page and they click on that page and you may have twelve products listed and then something happens. He's distracted for one reason or another, maybe his wife has come in from work, or his dinner is ready, his children are calling for him, he closes up his computer then the next day he comes back and can't remember why he was looking at those products. Then you have perhaps lost a sale. But, if you had offered this person an opportunity to join your email list then you'll have the chance of promoting one product at a time to this person.

Now the advantage of giving them one product at a time is that you give them an opportunity to make a purchase, if you sent out just a page of five, six or seven products you will find that you will make less sales because there is just too much choice. If you offer them one choice it will either be a yes or a no answer and the beauty of email marketing is that you can send out three emails promoting the same product spaced over say five days and each email is different. The first email could focus on the benefits of the product, the second email could address any questions they may have before purchasing the product and the third email could be testimonials from people who have already purchased it.

How do we collect someone's email address?

This is done through what is affectionately known as a squeeze page. On this squeeze page, well the squeeze page only has one single purpose and that is to collect the email address and the name of the person who is joining your list, and we offer them something called a free give away. A free give away could be a free eBook, it could be an audio program, or it could be a series of videos, or even just one video, it could be to watch a webinar, it could be to listen to an interview or a podcast. There are so many things that you can use, it is like a kind of bribe to entice people to join your email list and if they want this information then the only way they are going to be able to get is by entering their name and email address and therefore they join your list and put into your sales funnel. Then they are offered one product per week.

Email AutoResponders And Making Them Work for You

By A Chan  |   Submitted On August 10, 2014

  

An autoresponder can be defined as a sequence of email marketing messages sent out to subscribers in a dedicated frequency and order. This kind of online marketing easily lays the groundwork so that you can make your sales from potential clients or customers. Email autoresponders offer amazing experience, especially for the first subscribers turning the experience pleasant for the rest of the subscribers. They offer a simple, fast and effective way of passing your message across to Make Money Online. They, however must be crafted in such a way that they do not end up being annoying to the recipients.

The Benefits of Email Autoresponders

· The email autoresponders never get tired. You can use them during any given day and still expect good rewards with a well structure message for your potential customers

· They never get boring even when sending out the same marketing message. This cuts your marketing costs greatly without affecting the quality that you get in terms of sales for the products or services that you have to offer

· The help you deliver the best content in the right frequency and order to new readers who find you. They simply make your new potential clients feel appreciated which is good for possible sales

Making Them Work

When choosing to use email autoresponders as strategy to Make Money Online, you will need to get it right from the word go. Annoying messages will never fetch you anything, hence the need to carefully structure what to feature in your messages.

Avoid What is Obvious: Don't waste your time telling recipients what they already know such as I have received your email or thank you for the message or I will read your email soonest possible. Choose a message that keeps the recipients in anticipation for the solutions you have to offer with your products or services instead.

Appeal to The Good Nature of Your Recipients: This will always make them understand your plight better. You can for instance explain briefly why it might take some time to respond to their mails fast sighting an overwhelming work setting. It makes you human enough to be understood hence the message will work well.

Consider Humor: A little humor in your auto response message will go a long way in getting what you're looking for from your recipients. Humor makes it easier for the recipients to get over the feeling of frustration or sadness they could be going through as a result of the services or products they are reaching you about.

Make Them Direct and Brief: Very long messages have never been appealing to recipients especially when they are not directly answering to the questions they have. When creating your auto response message, therefore, try and keep them brief. Most people only need to know that the response is an automated one and a reason why you are sending it as well as the expectations that the recipient should have from that point on. The three should however be combined creatively to appeal to the recipients without adding to their frustrations.

Try Delayed Auto Responses: This is definitely not the best way to treat potential customers, but it offers you an easy excuse when you have plenty of emails to respond to and you are overwhelmed. By using such delayed messages, you will be giving the customers the chance to relay their messages again at the same time apologizing for taking too long to read their messages. You still manage to make your customers feel important, hence you still stand the chance to Make Money Online without losing potential customers.

How to Develop Your Own Niche Products or Services

By Wian Deleon  |   Submitted On February 15, 2016

If you create a product based on what you like, or what you think people will like, you will be extremely lucky to sell one single copy, and you'll probably have to bribe the person to buy it!

The only way to create niche products or services that become best sellers is to discover what your potential customers want. What problems are they facing that you can solve. What pain are they experiencing that you can soothe.

There's only one way to get this information... You have to conduct some research. You have to uncover your potential customers needs, their pain, even their dreams and aspirations. Here are a few idea to get you going:

Use Forums

Use the search engines to find a number of forums related to the niche you're interested in. Visit these forums regularly and find out what questions people are asking and how often they are asked. The same question asked by many different people on many different forums is a possible topic for your product or service.

Use Surveys

If you own an opt-in email list, send a brief survey to your subscribers to discover the problems they are facing. If a common problem emerges from your survey, providing the solutions to this problem is a possible topic for your product or service.

If you don't own an opt-in email list, you could send a solo advertisement to a few ezines with a large subscriber base and invite people to take part in your survey by offering a useful reward for their participation.

If you own a website which receives a lot of traffic, you could use a popup to invite people to your survey.

Use Wordtracker

Wordtracker.com is one of the most useful research tools on the internet. You can use it to uncover what people are searching for on the internet.

Not only that, you can use it to find out how often people search for different topics. It is a great tool for discovering niche markets.

On its own, Wordtracker is unlikely to point you to your next best seller, but when used in conjunction with surveys you have a very powerful research tool.

Once you have discovered what problems your potential customers are facing it is time to set about creating a product to solve them using any of the following three methods:

1) Use products which come with Private Label Rights.

If you purchase a product with Private Label Rights you can do virtually anything you want with the existing product, you could:

• Insert your name as the author/creator
• Re-arrange the contents
• Add to or remove contents

Private Label Rights is by far the quickest method of creating your own product. The only real disadvantage is other people will be using the same content as their own, so if you use the contents "as is" you won't have a unique product.

2) Use products found in the public domain

If a product is in the public domain, it means the copyright on it has expired and you are free to use the contents. While not as quick as Private Label Rights products, using a product from the public domain means you can get yourself a unique product.

Do a search for public domain products and once you have found one purchase a copy and have it digitized (made into an e-book). You could do this yourself with a scanner and good character recognition software, but you will be busy for many hours proof reading and correcting. A quicker route is to have the work professionally digitized as they do all the proofing and correcting as part of the service.

You can copyright your new digitized product, meaning nobody can sell copies in that particular format.

3) Create your own product

Even going this route doesn't mean you have to do all the work. There are many people willing to write articles, write e-books and even code scripts for a price.

By going to websites such as Elance.com you can negotiate a fair price with people willing to do the work for you. Part of the contract being you keep the copyrights, they simply provide the finished content (known as ghostwriting).

The biggest disadvantage is you have no idea whether they have used other people's content. If they have you will be charged with copyright violation, not them. Before using a ghostwriter, try and do a background check and check their references thoroughly.

You can create your own website using WordPress and InstaBuilder. InstaBuilder lets you create beautiful, highly converting, marketing pages with huge functionality at the touch of a button, even if you have no technical expertise at all.

Autoresponders - An Open Book - Everything You Need To Know, Revealed!

By Rob Hillman  |   Submitted On April 05, 2016

  

Have you heard about autoresponders? They have been a popular topic of discussion for many entrepreneurs today because of the many advantages they can bring to a business. 8 out of 10 businessmen use this system and they have nothing, but appreciation for them.

This article will discuss both the strengths and weaknesses of the autoresponder system. With this, you will know how to go about using these systems more effectively. My aim is to let you see clearly what they are all about and what more you should know about them.

Before anything else, let me first define what this system is all about. An auto-response system is one that allows you to send predetermined messages or replies to your subscribers.

Since not much has been written about their weaknesses, let me first cover some of the disadvantages.

The weaknesses of autoresponders:

1.) Robotic and Rigid. We have to accept that these are automated messages and no matter how much you try make it seem very natural and personalized, it will never be so. Your subscribers also know that these are automatic responses. Yes, they may feel special but not as special as when you reply to them personally via a call or email.

2.) Limited Information. When your customer receives your automated message, they will always have other immediate questions. And when you are not able to have a predetermined reply for this, they will not receive any reply regarding the specific question they are asking.

3.) Bothersome at times. These automated messages are predetermined. You receive them in a certain time of the day even if you did not really ask for them. This can bother some customers. Sometimes they even become irritable about receiving them. Email messages can be both distracting and disturbing during time of work or vacation. This is also the reason why customers will often unsubscribe to a certain sites.

The strengths of autoresponders:

1.) Automatic. Once you have set them up you do not have to worry about them anymore. The messages and replies are sent immediately to your subscribers. Once they are subscribed, they will immediately receive all the information and replies they need.

2.) Less hassle. Since this system is automatic, it will take less effort. Your customers will get what they need even if you are in a meeting or on a vacation.

3.) Promotion. This is a very useful tool for marketing. You can predetermine your messages and send them to them in whatever time and day you want. You may input all the most important features of your product or service. Put anything that your customer needs to know. A piece of advice is to make sure that your promotion does not contain a long winded article because subscribers do not like to waste their time reading long details. So be sure to put your information in the most creative and concise manner that you can. You can add designs if you want to.

Now, that you know some of the advantages and disadvantages of autoresponders. I am sure that you will now also have a much better idea about how to improve their use to suit your specific business.Auto responders are certainly here to stay so the trick is to use all of the services and techniques that they offer to maximize your value.
